The majority of the human population becomes infected early in life by the gammaherpesvirus Epstein Barr Virus (EBV). Some findings suggest that there is an association between EBV infection and the appearance of pathogenic antibodies found in Lupus. Gammaherpesvirus 68 infection of adult mice (an EBV model) has been shown to induce polyclonal B cell activation and hypergammaglobulinemia, as well as increased production of autoantibodies. Here we explored the possibility that this breach of tolerance reflects loss of B cell anergy. Our findings show that although anergic B cells transiently acquire an activated phenotype early during infection, they do not become responsive to autoantigen as measured by the ability to mobilize Ca2+ following antigen receptor crosslinking or mount antibody responses following immunization. Indeed, naïve B cells also acquire an activated phenotype during acute infection, but are unable to mount antibody responses to either T-dependent or T-independent antigens. In acutely infected animals, antigen stimulation leads to upregulation of costimulatory molecules and relocalization of antigen-specific B cells to the B-T cell border, however, these cells do not proliferate or differentiate into antibody secreting cells. Adoptive transfer experiments show that the suppressed state is reversible and is dictated by the environment in the infected host. Finally, B cells in infected mice deficient of CD4+ T cells are not suppressed, suggesting a role for CD4+ T cells in enforcing unresponsiveness. Thus rather than promoting loss of tolerance, gammaherpesvirus 68 infection induces an immunosuppressed state, reminiscent of Compensatory Anti-inflammatory Response Syndrome (CARS).
